Product Information
#1 New York Times Bestseller From the bestselling author and master of narrative nonfiction comes the enthralling story of the sinking of the Lusitania On May 1, 1915, with WWI entering its tenth month, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an English country house sailed out of New York, bound for Liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants. The passengers were surprisingly at ease, even though Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone. For months, German U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic. But the Lusitania was one of the era's great transatlantic "Greyhounds"--the fastest liner then in service--and her captain, William Thomas Turner, placed tremendous faith in the gentlemanly strictures of warfare that for a century had kept civilian ships safe from attack. Germany, however, was determined to change the rules of the game, and Walther Schwieger, the captain of Unterseeboot -20, was happy to oblige. Meanwhile, an ultra-secret British intelligence unit tracked Schwieger's U-boat, but told no one. As U-20 and the Lusitania made their way toward Liverpool, an array of forces both grand and achingly small--hubris, a chance fog, a closely guarded secret, and more--all converged to produce one of the great disasters of history. It is a story that many of us think we know but don't, and Erik Larson tells it thrillingly, switching between hunter and hunted while painting a larger portrait of America at the height of the Progressive Era. Full of glamour and suspense, Dead Wake brings to life a cast of evocative characters, from famed Boston bookseller Charles Lauriat to pioneering female architect Theodate Pope to President Woodrow Wilson, a man lost to grief, dreading the widening war but also captivated by the prospect of new love. Gripping and important, Dead Wake captures the sheer drama and emotional power of a disaster whose intimate details and true meaning have long been obscured by history.

Reviews
"An intriguing, entirely engrossing investigation into a legendary disaster." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Factual and personal to a high degree, the narrative reads like a grade-A thriller." -- Booklist , starred review "With a narrative as smooth as the titular passenger liner, Larson delivers a riveting account of one of the most tragic events of WWI...A blunt reminder that war is, at its most basic, a matter of life and death." --Publishers Weekly "Once again, Larson transforms a complex event into a thrilling human interest story. This suspenseful account will entice readers of military and maritime history along with lovers of popular history." --Library Journal From the Hardcover edition., "Larson is one of the modern masters of popular narrative nonfiction... a resourceful reporter and a subtle stylist who understands the tricky art of Edward Scissorhands-ing narrative strands into a pleasing story... an entertaining book about a great subject, and it will do much to make this seismic event resonate for new generations of readers." -- The New York Times Book Review "Larson is an old hand at treating nonfiction like high drama... he knows how to pick details that have maximum soapy potential and then churn them down until they foam... [he] has an eye for haunting, unexploited detail." -- The New York Times "Utterly engrossing... Expertly ratcheting up the tension... Larson puts us on board with these peop≤ it''s page-turning history, breathing with life." -- The Seattle Times "[B]oth terrifying and enthralling. As the two vessels stumble upon each other, the story almost takes on the narrative pulse of Jaws -- the sinking was impossible and inevitable at the same time. At no point do you root for the shark, but Larson''s incredible detail pulls you under and never lets you go." -- Entertainment Weekly "[An] expertly crafted tale of individual and corporate hubris, governmental intrigue and cover-up, highlighting a stunning series of conincidences and miscalculations that ultimately placed the Lusitania in the direct path of the catastrophic strike... [Larson''s] pacing is impeccable..." -- The Miami Herald "[Larson] has a gift for finding the small, personal details that bring history to life... His depiction of the sinking of the ship, and the horrific 18 minutes between the time it was hit and the time it disappeared, is masterly, moving between strange, touching details." -- Columbus Dispatch "Fans of Erik Larson''s narrative nonfiction have trusted that whatever tale he chooses to tell, they''ll find it compelling. Dead Wake proves them right... history at its harrowing best." -- New York Daily News "An intriguing, entirely engrossing investigation into a legendary disaster." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Factual and personal to a high degree, the narrative reads like a grade-A thriller." -- Booklist , starred review "[Larson] has always shown a brilliant ability to unearth the telling details of a story and has the narrative chops to bring a historical moment vividly alive. But in his new book, Larson simply outdoes himself...What is most compelling about Dead Wake is that, through astonishing research, Larson gives us a strong sense of the individuals--passengers and crew--aboard the Lusitania , heightening our sense of anxiety as we realize that some of the people we have come to know will go down with the ship. A story full of ironies and ''what-ifs,'' Dead Wake is a tour de force of narrative history." -- BookPage , Top Pick "With a narrative as smooth as the titular passenger liner, Larson delivers a riveting account of one of the most tragic events of WWI...A blunt reminder that war is, at its most basic, a matter of life and death." --Publishers Weekly "[Larson] shows that narrative history can let us have it both ways: great drama wedded to rigorous knowledge. The German torpedoing of the great ship 100 years ago was almost as deadly as the Titanic sinking, and far more world-changing. Larson makes it feel as immediate and contingent as the present day." --NY Mag''s Vulture.com "Once again, Larson transforms a complex event into a thrilling human interest story. This suspenseful account will entice readers of military and maritime history along with lovers of popular history." --Library Journal From the Hardcover edition., "An intriguing, entirely engrossing investigation into a legendary disaster." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Factual and personal to a high degree, the narrative reads like a grade-A thriller." -- Booklist , starred review "With a narrative as smooth as the titular passenger liner, Larson delivers a riveting account of one of the most tragic events of WWI...A blunt reminder that war is, at its most basic, a matter of life and death." --Publishers Weekly
